January 29-February 1, 2021 Quartzsite, Arizona

 61 degrees, partly cloudy, little rainy and windy. We drove to Quartzsite.

Mountain views on the way to Quartzsite. Our first stop  was the RV Pit Stop. We dumped the tanks, filled the water tank up with reverse osmosis water. The water tastes hideous down here you have to buy drinking water and the salts precipitate in your plumbing. And we got propane. At the propane part was this sign "You only blow up once.

We are camped out in free BLM dispersed camping. Just parked out in the desert. It is lovely. There are other people camped out here too, but not close by. The view from our campsite. We went for a long walk on the desert, didn't see a soul. We are in miles and miles of nothing but desert in the middle of nowhere. A view from our hike. 

John in a wash on our hike. John's halo is showing. 

Lone saguaro. I finished this basket. It is 7 1/2 x 6 1/2 by 3 inches. The center is fused from dichroic glass earrings I made. It is made from natural and dyed pine needles, glass beads and polyester thread. 

Side  view of the latest masterpiece. The bus parked in our campsite by a burning bush. In the background you can see our closest neighbor. 

The almost full moon rising. Today I went to my friend Pam's house and we worked on baskets. She made the blue basket in the front. She has taught me so much of what I know. Today I got to show her a new stitch. She is left handed and can't figure out the written instructions since they are written for right handed people. So we worked together and she got it. We sat outside and wore masks to be safe. 

66 today. Started out sunny, then clouded up. Cool mackerel sky clouds

Second night in a row with clouds and no sunset, but at the last minute we got this thin line of sunset. I went to Gem World in Quartzsite today. It is the best bead store ever, great prices. I did well, I only got these.

John took the bus to the RV Proctologist yesterday for a colonoscopy to get the waste tanks cleaned. It feels much better now.
